did anyone like Jesus at first? no. he was hated, despised and considered a heretical madman, but he realy helped entire nations of people! what about Abreham Lincoln? he was one of the most hopeless people around! and yet look at what he did to america. he freed the slaves, and reunited the confederacy of succeeded states to the union again despite their fiery disagreements. and Benjamin Franklin. need i say anything else? no formal education, worked hard for everything, rarely succeeded on anything. and yet he earned the respect og 13 colonies and his influence vecame mortar for the founding of the united states.

Actually Zac would disagree and even I do a bit about those apparent historical facts about Lincoln. There is a bit more to it then that. It isn't quite that black and white as it may seem. And people typically like me. Hell I got most of my old co-workers at my old job to like me, but I tried to get along with everyone in order to promote a positive environment. But as I said I don't think I'm going to be any world reknown spiritual leader anytime soon. XP Unless you see something I don't.

i do. i see potential. all anyone realy needs is the drive. if your reason for not going fo rthat is simply that you don't think you can succeed, then you should try! if you still won't, meh... not my place i guess...

Thing is Twi, I'm not trying to be a spiritual revolutionary. I'm just trying to help people be a little more tolerant, find happiness in their lives, and show them a better way of living through betterment of the self. But I don't go out and openly preach these things. I'm no preacher and goddess knows it. I'm not always the wisest person I know, but sometimes I can definitely say some insightful things.

i stoo bad... you say thes eimportant things way better than i do...

lol, I think that comes with practice hun. I've read and seen many things, but perhaps I also have an ace up my sleeve with 'Ray'. She used to be a council-woman of her tribe/clan if you will. She was also the high priestess of their temple of healing dedicated to Luna, but then she had a different name. Perhaps it is her wisdom and mannerisms I draw upon that allow me to be able to articulate myself as well as I do. Also it just takes pratice. I run scenarios in my head frequently about how things will/would happen if this occured vs. this. I'd say its done me a great deal of good as far as understanding myself, others, and the world around me.

^_^ well, thank you for that! i will take it to heart, and try to work on my articulations as well.

Try doing the scenarios in your thing like I do. It might help.

oh, i do. ^.^ i still justfind myself winging it anyway, and even in my constantly rehearsed scenarios i find that it takes me days or even weeks to get something even NEAR right. ._. hahah !XD but is coolio. ^_^ i'll get it eventually.

That's why I constantly run them through my head. O.O; XD

i can understand that.

Well it helps to have my guardians. They are an essential piece to my scenario building in my head. Each of them is so diverse in personality, attitude, etc that it makes it quite interesting and then there are my spirit guides. lol But the only thing they actively teach me anything in is in regards to my studies.

*grunts and bows.* that reminds me... have anythings tried to drain you or look for anything in your realm? or other strange activities? a few of my friends who are Involved have been the subjects of skirmishes.

No one can gain entrance into my sanctuary without my permission first. I would assume the only way something could get in is if you openly leave yourself in that position. Do your friends have their own sanctuaries or no? If I find myself drained I attribute that to a friend needing to borrow my strength to protect themselves for a short time. I manage to get by well enough with the energy I draw in from nature. There has been absolutely nothing though out of the ordinary for me, aside from interesting and strange dreams. XD

all of my friends have sanctuaries, even those ho are not Involved. i tend to meet the people with mental issues, so they tend to deal with it psychospiritually on their own.

Joshy had been ambush-attacked and instantly exhausted from a draining, and he is known for his nearly unbeatable defences and srengths, not mention how well he hides. he's the one who taught me!! so that was incedibly scarey...
